w. A. ALLEN AND CO.'S WOOL
CIRCULAR.
CHICAGO. July Is. 1873

CHICAGO, July 10, 1887.
The wool market shows little ofspecial
interest since our review of July LIST.
We have had quite a fair trade our
selves from manufacturers, on orders
and otherwise, but the market generally
is quiet. Manufacturers are disposed
to buy moderately of wool until they
are better assured what the coming sea-
sons demand win be for their goods.
They are now beginning to show samples
of their new goods, and next month will
develop the wooden goods trade more
fully, when they will buy wool with
more confidence, and trade will doubt
less be more satisfactory.
Manufacturers are as a rule holding
lighter stocks of wool than usual at this
season Of the year, and as the outlook
generally favors good trade the coming
season for wooden goods, it is reasonable
to expect good healthy trade for wool
as the season progresses and at fair
prices. 1t would, therefore, seem to be
a mistake to hurry the sale of wool at
present, or until such time as what
seem to be good, fair prices are obtain
ed. Foreign markets continue strong.
Chicago, with its central location and
large stocks, commands the trade not
only of the very large number of west
ern mills, from N. Y, Pa, Ohio and the
West, but shows also steadily increas-
ing trade with the larger eastern manu-
facturers. The freight to these latter
mills from Chicago is not much more
than from eastern markets, while with
our lighter expenses we can sell WOO
here for less than on eastern markets
which makes it an object for the manu-
facturer to by here, yet net the shippe,
more.

Some Ofthe tyrannical inconsistencies
attending labor strikes appear tO have
been mostly abandoned. The arbi-
trary exercise of authority by strikers
to dictate who may work and who
shall not work is so absurd, the
wonder is it was so long submitted to
without revolution. This rule in the
strikers code is dropping out, and its
revival is not likely to be restored
again. There is now and always has
been recognized under our form of gov
eminent such fundamental principle
~ private rights. If the time shall
ever come when this principle ceases
to be respected, then free government
will be at an end. To work is an obi
cation resting on man by divine law.
If a man desires to engage in any law.
full work, there is no law on the statute
book nor any moral code to hinder
him. If another man steps forward to
hinder him, it is an unlawful inter.
ference, which merits condemnation
This vital principle of private rights
has been unlawfully interfered with
In the labor strikes the past two or
more years. But such violation of
right has at last met with just rebuke;
the courts have declared it an indict-
able offence " to modest or obstruct
workmen. with the view of inducing
them to leave their employment"

THE WEATHER.

The late warm weather, which was
popularity called hot, has been the SUBJ
tect of much comment. Old residents
pronounce 1t the warmest succession
of days since the settlement of the
country. Recollections of past seasons
may, differ but the general verdict is it
was an intentionally heated term.
Our neighbor. HI. B. Ifinsdale, ESQ.,,
has reliable thermometer, from
which he has registered the tempera-
ture of the weather for over forty
years. and not during all that time did
the mercury rise as high as on Satur-
day last, when it marked 1O1 in the
shade. We have heard of one or two
instances where the thermometer indi-
Gated temperature a trife higher, but
the test perhaps was not as fair as that
recorded by Mr.. Hinsdale. 1t is not
learned that there were any cases of
sunstroke in this city or vicinity. but
there were instances of partial prostra-
ton.
With the mercury at over 100, and
the earth parched with severe drouth,
the disasterOus effects on vegetation
and on unmatured crops can be i'm.
1gined.

SOMERS.

A decided change in the weather, so
that person can move around and
work without danger of being sun
struck. The heat of Che past week
was never exceeded, if equaled, in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant. In
1865 we had something similar little
later in the season. Thermometers
indicated 102 to 100 and 1O7 on several
days, and one ITO.
The drouth is on us again, relieved
only by light shower on Sunday night
last. Pastures are burned up, except
in sloughs, and cattle, especially cows,
require feeding.
Water is becoming scarce article.
Wells are drying up, cisterns empty,
and water holes no longer supply water
for stock.
Barley is cut and is being stacked.
The crop is from medium to light, the
grain being small on account of the
dry weather.
The timothy hay is nearly all cut
and secured. Some run and slough re-
mains to be cut.
The oat harvest begins this week.
Corn is tasseling out and silking.
During the hot weather stalks here
and there show blades scorched as if
frost had passed over them.
Grasshoppers are busy on oats, near
pastures and meadows; also on corn.
The damage done by them as yet is not
serious, but with continuation of dry
weather it may be, especially to corn
and what little grass is left in meadows
and pastures.

Col. F. d. Curtiss, of Oar Country Home
offers to flockmasters this bit of excel
lent advice " Put your trust in goot
care for the sheep more than in the tar
iff."
The great profits from sheep canno
be made by farmers who do ever,
thing in the grand wholesale way. NJ
animals require better care and close
attention than sheep. Even with thes'
it is difficult TO keep large numbers to
gether and have them do well. TIL,
small farmer can keep few by giving
them the best care, and by growing early
lambs make more profit per head thai

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING IN
SCHOOLS.

This Is not new subject; it has
often been referred to in the TELE.
GRAPH in past years and its importance
endeayored to be set forth. The head
and the hand have too long been di-
vorced in public school education. The
time has gone by when book learning
alone can be depended upon for obtain
ing livelihood; many tradeless young
men are without steady employment,
because they have had instructions
only in school book learning. The
National Teachers Convention in Chi
cago, last week. gave industrial educa-
ton its proper place in the public
schools-a place which it is increasing
ly receiving in many parts of the
Union. We give space to few OF the
sentiments expressed in that conven-
ton on matters of primary Importance
to all public schools:
"W A more general study of the
Philosophy of Education. (2l An ex-
tension of the strictly professional
training in Normal School. 90 A more
complete enforcement of school offices
from politics. (0 Greater care in the
selection of school officers, superintend-
ents and teachers, Co The extension,
wherever practicable. into rural dis
tricts of expert school superintendent
(6) A more stable tenure of office. On
The extension of the school year and
the increase of teachers wages in rural
districts. (s) The adoption of some
plan whereby meritorious teachers
after long service may be honorably
retired. l9) The passage of laws where
necessary to secure attendance at the
public schools of all persons of school
age who are deficient in the rudiments
of an English education. {1Ol The in
crease of public libraries and the estab
lishment of closer relation between
them and the schools. i12) The recog-
milton of the value of industrial art
(13l A more earnest attention not only
TO instruction in the fundamental
principles of morality, but also a care
full training of pupils in moral charac-
ter. Q4) Increased attention to in
struction in civics as a special prepare
ton for the duties of citizenship. t15)I

Mr.. B. F. Johnson, of Champaign, ILL.,,
the well-known agricultural writer,
thinks the rainfall of Illinois and other
Western States has been materially di-
minished by drainage. He writes to
the Country Gentleman that the drainage
of bogs and marshes in this state during
the past ten years has decreased the
water surface at least 80 per cent. Such
a change, he believes, can only be fol-
lowed by great loss of humidity to the
atmosphere, and a consequent decrease
of rainfall. He urges the extensive
planting of forests to preserve the moist
ure, and thinks our prairie country can
be saved by this means only from be-
coming desert.
